What an amazing day of adventure on the Mornington Peninsula!
My wife and I have been on many, many tours and we both agreed that this was our favourite. It wasn't just the incredible itinerary, but learning a little bit about the history of the area, the eco day packs and the A Grade tour guide, 'Coops', made it such a great day out.
We started by meeting Coops in Melbourne where he poured us a coffee and native tea, then got into his clean and spacious van that had pillows.
The first stop was at Mount Martha where the conditions couldn't have been better and we went Stand-up Paddle Boarding. Neither my wife or I had been SUPing before, but Coops took the time to teach us some techniques and we paddled around the stunning sites without an issue.
After getting out of the water, we then went to a really beautiful winery and had a picnic on the grass and indulged in a gourmet lunch, then we walked off what we had eaten on a relaxing day hike to Bushrangers Bay.
The final treat for the day couldn't have been better - a session at the Peninsula Hot Springs.
Thanks so much to Coops. You offer a first class tour with an itinerary like no other tours operating out of Melbourne. We couldn't speak more highly of this tour and will be booking another one for sure!

Had the best day on the WAM tour! The tour guide Nic was extremely professional, gave us plenty of tips on Stand up paddle boarding and made sure we were all having a ball! The picnic at the winery was delicious and the views were incredible. Can’t wait to go on another WAM tour ASAP!

I have done my share of organised day trips and this has been by far the most enjoyable of them all. An incredible mix of nature, a bit of exercise (or attempt to-more on this below-), some excellent food, WINE and a bunch of dolphins for good measure.
But the best part of the day was having Nic as a guide. He's the funniest guy alive but don't let his self-deprecating sense of humour deceive you: his knowledge of everything involving Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula at times got lost muffled by the sound of my laughter🤣 (and my wife's, especially when I fell off the paddle board...several times).
A great day out, a fabulous tour, a spectacular area and the best guide you can ask for.
A absolute must do in Victoria and Oz for that matter.
Thanks again for a great day Nic, we will come back

Thanks for the review Edu, so glad you loved the day of adventure on the Mornington Peninsula with WAM!
I thought the finesse of your falls from the paddle boards got better and better!
Looking forward to you joining another adventure soon!

Was lucky enough to squeeze this amazing, jam packed adventure tour in right before the Melbourne lockdown hit.
Being a born and bred kiwi, it was a fantastic opportunity to explore the wilderness of Melbourne whilst meeting a great bunch of people.
I went with the Sunrise Wildlife Adventure Tour which started off with mountain biking through the woods, wombat spotting, sightings of kangaroos, followed by an amazing float down the river on the SUPs, then finishing with a brunch in the sun at a lovely vegan café! But that’s not all, the tour guide was full of knowledge and provided us with insightful information of the area and surrounding areas along the way. He knew all the best viewing spots to soak in the views of Melbourne (perfect for photo ops!). I also absolutely LOVE that the whole tour is eco-friendly!
Would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who is looking to get out of Melbourne for an adventure and keen for a laugh with a bunch of like-minded people!

Absolutely loved this tour. Got some active adventure in whilst seeing loads of wildlife close to Melbourne. I didn’t have much time in Melbourne, so just wanted to do a half day tour, as I hate sitting in a bus/car for ages to go see ‘sights’, so I opted for this tour.
Got up early as it’s a sunrise tour and was only 30mins until I was out in nature on a mountain bike in the woods. We stopped to watch a beauty of a sunrise, then on the trail I saw a Wombat and Kangeroos along the river. After a decent ride we then switched it up and went out on the river on SUPs, which I was a little nervous about, as I hadn’t been on one before, but the guide gave me a few pointers and I was fine. I didn’t fall in, which was a result!
Then finished up the day with a big breaky in the sun, having a laugh with the other guys on the tour at a cool little cafe.
Totally recommend this half day tour to anyone who wants to see some wildlife, have an adventure and not have to travel that far. Loved it.
